Aiming to cut fuel and carbon emissions by 25%, the regenerative braking-powered UltraBoost ST is a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) which could be a helping hand to the port transportation industry.<\/p>\n
Mack Murray, president of Adgero, said: \u201cThe Adgero UltraBoost ST system has the potential to boost fuel efficiency, reduce overall fuel consumption and reduce associated emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause our hybrid system can be easily and economically retrofitted to existing fleets, voluntary fleet-based implementation could have an immediate and meaningful impact on fleet costs and vehicle emissions within a very short timeframe.\u201d<\/p>\n
It uses a compact and lightweight YASA motor to recover kinetic energy, otherwise lost as heat during braking, and stores it in high-power graphene-based ultracapacitors from Skeleton Technologies.<\/p>\n
It is believed that such systems can be rolled out across ports and terminals across Europe to allow the reduction in emissions and harmful gasses, helping to contribute to green ports.<\/p>\n
Mr Murray added: \u201cRoad haulage accounts for over a fifth of the EU\u2019s total CO2 emissions, so fuel efficient solutions are crucial. We are beginning to see regenerative braking systems in automotive applications but the market clearly needs a similar solution for articulated lorries.<\/p>\n
Adgero also signed a \u20ac3.5m distribution agreement to ensure the UltraBoost ST system for road haulage was powered by modules from Europe\u2019s Skeleton Technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
